1995 Dodge Avenger Base review from North America
"A fun car, good on gas, and great looking too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission blew the casing apart around Christmas 2000, which was replaced under my extended warranty from my dealer.
Had to replace the plugs and wires about four months ago, due to a short in a wire.
Have a small intermittent thunk in the front end over certain bumps. This hasn't been figured out yet.
General comments?
After owning a Camaro, I knew this car wouldn't have a lot of performance to equal that. I was fairly surprised at what I did end up with. My car has a 5 speed manual transmission, which isn't nearly as quick as my other car, but isn't a slouch either.
I do wish the suspension was a little tighter, but that is probably because I miss the rail-like handling of my previous car.
